ZEISS Microscopy Solutions for Carbonate Characterization

Understand pore structure across 8 orders of magnitude

Carbonates contain the bulk of the world’s remaining oil and gas reserves, however, their pore structures are difficult to characterize. They typically have highly heterogeneous dual and triple porosity systems, with pores ranging from large macro-scale vugs down to micritic microporosity at length scales of tens of nanometers.

Characterize pore-structure and heterogeneity across a wide range of length scales

for Carbonate Characterization

Workflow

Guided sample site selection allows you to progressively image over eight orders of magnitude.
Capture rock heterogeneity by maintaining the spatial relationship of images captured over multiple scales using a wide range of tools. This allows high resolution descriptions of mineralogy, pore structure and morphology to be related to macroscopic maps of lithological texture.
